Posting Data by the end of the year. Support Group Conference Call

Hello all.  Merry Christmas.  NAMI National needs your data from all classes and support groups.  Remember that support group data is required from every meeting.  Many of you have contacted me with problems regarding your ability to submit the data.  One thing I have tried very recently when I’ve had computer hitches is using another browser.  I know NAMI National recommends not using Google Chrome for their data website.  Please feel free to email me if you are continuing to have problems submitting data.  I also post recommendations on my blog now that it is operational again. 

Remember the support group facilitator conference call next Wednesday at 7 p.m.   

Please get the code and phone number from your coordinator.   Thanks.

New facilitators – please call in with your questions regarding conducting meetings.

If you are an experience facilitator please call in as well – your input is very welcome.

Gay and Lesbian Information on NAMI Website

NAMI recently held a phone call for program directors and coordinators which provides information on working with the Gay and Lesbian community.  Go to the www.nami.org/GLBT to view short videos and explore other information about this topic.  Of particular interest is a terminology sheet which is one of the links at the bottom of the page.  If you wish to listen to the conference call, you can access it by going to www.nami.org/eduhelpdesk and looking for recorded conference calls link. 

NAMI National Posting Tool

We have a new way of posting all of our signature program events on the National Website. 

National NAMI's description:
What does the Program Listing Tool do?

This tool will allow NAMI State Organizations and other NAMI leaders in the field to post and

update program event information to be displayed on www.nami.org,

including class, presentation and support group start times, locations and weekly schedules. This new tool will allow the public to search for program events by state, zip code and program type.

What is important to note is that all classes and/or support groups currently posted on the NAMI.org website will need to be re-entered by you into this new system.  Please check out this link for the main webpage regarding the Program Listing Tool. 
Thank you!
